The One With Olive Garden 9/25/17

So this week was pretty crazy. We had dinner set up with a less active member who we didn't know very well. She told us that dinner would definitely be super early and then hung up. We painfully waited throughout the day, feeling too afraid to eat lunch right before a big meal. By the time 6 o'clock hit, pain won over courtesy, and we went to work and made a giant pot of pasta and sauce. We decided she was ignoring us, because she wasn't answering her phone, so we made enough food to make up for the calories that we usually get between lunch and dinner. When we finished cooking, we got a call from the sister. "Sorry the meeting took longer than I thought" she said "I'll meet you at Olive Garden". With a look of frustration and disgust towards the giant pot of pasta we just made, we told her we would love to go to Olive Garden.

We got lost twice on the way over there, but when we finally made it, we had a wonderful dinner as we learned about this sister. She is from Spain and her husband Ireland. She was baptized when she was young and hasn't gone to church in a long time. Her husband is very devoutly Catholic but we invited ourselves to fix her yard and some repairs at her house so hopefully we will meet him and start to build a relationship; he seems like a really cool guy.

I'm super excited for General Conference, hope you all have a great week! I love you all!
